We are at present utilizing IBM Analytics Engine and it works incredible. Following are the things that I like the most about this product is:- - Simple to Utilize - Reasonable Cost - With only a couple seconds you can ready to fabricate and convey groups - you can without much of a stretch break down information through different applications

It has been very useful in a wider variety of different scenarios within our organization, I could not be more pleased with my experience. It is appropriate for business decision makers who really need analytics to influence what they do day to day. I would say that ORBIT probably is not as useful for developers, but there are other software solutions out there that provide information that is more useful.

It provides a wide range of functionalities that are absent in the other platform. There are a large number of customizable services offered. It is very user-friendly and output-driven which makes it easier to interpret. It also supports ad-hoc reporting and data stories in an easier manner and format which makes it easier to use for users who are just beginners.

Return on Investment
  • It has saved us quite a bit of time managing our catalog of clusters and keeping things organized.
  • Since we had a division we acquired running IBM Cloud, it was easy to get it running and try it out, but we found we prefer our Azure configuration better simply to keep our technology in alignment across corporate functions.
  • I definitely see some cost savings by separating out the storage and compute. It helps you start to put an appropriate price tag on certain instances of big data.
